Here is the list of artist who will perform on January 17th. at the Queen's Park Savannah, Port-of-Spain for a place in the finals of the Lotto Plus Soca Monarch competition. The competition (finals) will take place on Fantastic Friday (02/05/2016) at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain.
Please note that the show will not be broadcast live. Now that is correct and not a misprint; there will not be a live telecast of the show on Fantastic Friday. If you want to witness this show you have to be there! However, even if you attend you will not know the results! That is correct the results will not be announced on Fantastic Friday. As we understand and as per the Soca Monarch press release, the results will be sealed and made known on Carnival Sunday night when the edited show is aired on television.
How do you like that for progress! Apparently it is a new marketing tool that Caribbean Prestige Foundation will be using to edit the contents of the show for viewing on television on Sunday. The goal is to achieve a smooth flow for the viewing audience. All the delays will be edited out and a concise show will be aired for your listening and viewing pleasure (along with the results).
Now before you start complaining, just keep in mind that the present government will not be committing the same amount of financial support that last year's show enjoyed. Times have changed with more Carnival cuts (finance) to come. It will be a financial headache for show promoters to administer. Let's see how this all falls into place. Now on to the artists who will perform in the semi finals.
